LOCAI. MATTERS. Prof. BlgfC l * Oar readers will observe that the fiwst term of the Dancing Academy by this gentleman, will close to night, with a Soiree to his pupils, and the second course will open on- Wednesday. Pi of. Biggs is deservedly popular noth as a teacher of Dancing, and as an affable! and worthy gentleman, and we advise! all who would like to take lessons in! the polite acomplishment of Dancing to embrace the opportunity to do so. Concert Hall. A portion of Mr. Marciiant s Charles ton Company opened Concert Hall last night with three familiar pieces, enti tied—“ The Man without a Head." “ A Pretty Piece of Business,” and "The Loan of a Lover.” The Company made a favorable impression, and when the accession; which arc announced to arrive, are add ed, it will be the strongest dramatic; corps we have had for years. To-night Mr. Walcott makes hisse-' corn! appearance, as Tony Lumpkin: 1 Mr Marciiant will play Young Marlow, and Mr. Fuller will appear as Hardcas tle, in Goldsmiths fine Comedy, "She Stoops to Conquer” The performance will conclude with the amusing Farce of the ‘‘Swiss Swains.” Fair in Hamburg. Our local readers will hear in mind that the fair of the Union Sabbath School, in Hamburg, comes off to-mor row-night, when, in addition to the fan cy articles, a Supper will be given. As the object is to complete the Church in that place, it is to be hoped that there will be a liberal attendance from among our citizens. A Funny Coincidence. One of our morning cotemporaries copied a few days ago, an account of a dancing match between a chap named Snellings and “Big Sis,” and credited it to an Augusta, Maine paper. The match alluded to was described ig. a sketch called “My Electioneering >FMT ic,“published in the Augusta Cenryia Dis patch, last summer. Air Gas. We are pleased to learn that Mr. M. B. Smith, Agent of the new Air Gas, previously noticed in our columns, has disposed of the right to use this light in Richmond, and some other counties, to a responsible company in this city, who will be prepared in a short time to attach it to the residences of our citi zens in town or country. We believe it to be the cheapest and most desira ble light in use. Rowdyism Rampant* On Fnnday evening last, some rowdies, in a spirit of wanton mischief, atta kod the residence or Dr. W. S. Fki.dk r, tearing ofT the window blinds, and otherwise defacing thd building. Tbe perpetrators of t* is outrage are unknown. I: discovered, the severest ponaltD'S of tbe law should be inflicted upon thorn. Dr. Felder is one of tbe most quiet and orderly of our citizens, and no motive can be assigned for the attack, save that of wanton mischief. Rh bmoml Superior Court. The time for the criminal docket having been consumed, the cases un tried will lay over, and the equity and appeal dockets will engage the court for the balance of the week. Change of Schedule. A convention of Southern railroad men was held in Chattanooga on yester day, to prepare a new schedule more suitable to the various railroads of this section. We hear it intimated that there is some prospect that the trains will leave Augusta on the Georgia Road about sixo'dock, morning and evening, j We do not know when they are to ar-j rive. The exact time above noted, if, vet uncertain, hut if there is anything: in a general auxiety for such a change, j it will be made. “Where i* Sergeant Iflvny 1” j Enquires a New York paper.

I gave him i all the assistance I could, in trying toj find a stenographer, hut failed. I have shown him the different depots, so that he might not take the wrong one when ever he chooses to leave for home. He is quite a nice young man, that Ser geant Birny. Don't you see how he broke up those fortune tellers in New York' I tell you 'taint every man that could have done that. Jake Snooks, Esq. j .Nominee tor Attorney General* We intended—though out of our way as a miscellaneous newspaper—to copy the proceedings of the Democratic Con -vection at Millcn, which nominated Ci-Übokne Sneed, Esq., as a candidate for Attorney General for the Middle Circuit—hut we did not receive a copy of the resolutions until after they had appeared in several other papers, and we make it a rule not play second fiddle to the political papers or any body else, when we can help it. We cordially congratulate our esteem ed friend Bkeed, as well as the people of the District, on his selection for that re sponsible office. If elected, we believe he will fiill it with ability and fidelity. Our friend Rogue* is also in the field, ' on his own hook—ami we would rejoice , to see the race left to a contest between j these two gentlemen alone. Pre.byteiinu Synod. This body continues in session at the \ Lecture Room of the Presbyterian Church. On Saturday the reports from the Theological Seminary, Oglethorpe j University, and the various female col-! leges under the charge of the Synod, I J were submitted and referred to appro-} priate committees. > On yesterday the Rev.

The sub ! j ject was referred to the committee on j j the Seminary, and made the special j i order for to day at 11 o'clock. An able 1 and interesting report was made by the ; I I committee on Domestic Missions, which } : subject will come up for discussion to- j . day also.

NOT AT HOME. ' Mrs Granger, Mrs. Dr. West, and; » Mrs. Lee, all happened to meet at the! j residence of Mrs. Grand, one morning, j 1 They were fashionable women, and of, | course making fashionable calls. Mrs. Grand's first impulse was to lie; “not at home,” she felt somewhat in-! disposed ; but, on second thought, she 1 contrived to infuse a little animation into her features, and crept downstairs. . The ladies, however, were so cordial : * and so chatty, that Mrs. Grand did no!, t regret having made the effort. Conversation for once took an unex ’ pectcd turn, and instead of wasting ex > clamation upon that Mrs. Upham's ex > travagant bonnet, or Miss Smith, the . little flirt's new moire antique, the theme' . was, “Not at home." Mrs. Granger declared she could see no harm in such a very little white lie, for in one sense people were not at home i —to company! She-found it a most; convenient excuse for bores, and if she! 1 had a headache, or wanted a day for i ° herself, she did nut scruple to use it. “I shall remember that!’’ said Mrs. , Lee laughing. | “Oh !to my intimate friends I am. of course, always at home,” replied Mrs. Granger, blushing scarlet—“but now ’ confess, you dear little piece of proprie-l ’ ty, that you use this subterfuge occa-: sionallv. You certainly cannot always! see your immense circle of visitors at; . home. “ Icertainly cannot,” said Mrs. Lee ; ■ “but I believe I never sent that mes-j 1 sage to tlie door but once, and for that' r once.” she continued, a painful look ; crossing her face, "1 shall never forgive! myself. If was more than three years ago, and when I told my servant that 1 morning t > say, “Not” at home” to . w homsoevet mightcall, exceptshe knew! „ it was some intimate friend, 1 felt my; cheeks tingle, and the girl's look of sur -3 prise mortified me exceedingly. But t she went about her duties, and 1 about j mine, sometimes pleased that 1 had l I adopted a convenient fashion by which j I could secure more time to myself, j ! sometimes painfully smitten with the l 'I reproaches of my conscience. Thus; ■ the day wore away, and when Mr. Lee ;; came homo, he startled me with the I . news that a very dear and intimate j friend was dead. “It cannot be,” was my reply, “for i she exacted of me a solemn promise that I would, alone, sit by her dying J pillow, as she had a secret of great im portance to reveal to me. You must be misinformed; no one has been for me’ —here suddenly a horrible suspicion crossed my mind. “She sent for you, but you were not at home,” said Mr. Lee, innocently ; then he continued, “I am sorry for Charles, her husband, he ! thinks her distress was much aggrava- I ted by your absence, from the faot that she called your name piteously. He would have sought for you, but your servant said she did not know where j'ou were gone. lam sorry. You must have been out longer than usual, for Charles sent a servant over here tiiree times.” “ Never in all my life did I expe rience such loathing of myself, such; utter humiliation. My servant had! i gone further than I, in adding false-: ; hood,and I had placed itout of my power i to reprove her by my own equivocation. I felt humbled to the very dust, and the next day I resolved, over the cold clay of my friend, that I would never again, under any circumstances,' say, “Not at home!” “ But did you find out the secret!” asked Mrs. Granger !” “Never!” said Mrs. Lee; “it died with her. It was in relation to a little child in the family, and I have always felt a painful consciousness that I might have received information by which the poor little thing could be greatly bene fited.” Mrs. Granger united her delicate bon net strings, and took to fanning herself with a lace-haudkerchief. Mrs, Grand immediately rose and offered her a fan that lay on a little table near. “Thatreminds me,” said Mrs. Dr. West, “of a similar circumstance that occurred in my husband's practice. A.t one time we were very intimate "with the family of a Mr. Allen. They lived in tbe suburbs in a beautiful mansion, j The dorter called there quite often as a' friend and acquaintance. Mrs. Allen had hut one child, a son, hut five years old, a little angel in appearance and disposition, and as complete an idol ns ever shared the love of two devoted ; hearts. One day my husband rode by there, and, as was his wont, stopped a moment. A new servant who did not ; know him met him, and told him the mistress was not at home ; so he rode off again. Some two hours after he came home, anil was surprised when 1 ! told him that Mr. Allen had sent after him long ago; that Mrs. Allen was j nearly crazy, and the child dying, hav ing accidentally swallowed poison. He ! hurried hack. There were several doc tors in the room, and the little Eugene was just breathing his last. My hus i band ascertained what time the acci dent occuncd, and found that, he lmd i not been misinformed at the period of j his first visit, he could easily have saved his life. When Mrs. Allen learned that he actually stood before her door at the J very moment she discovered that her child was ill, her reason forsook her, l and she has never since fully recovered. , She had given strict orders that morn ing, that she was at home to no one ; and unfortunately, a physician could not be found till nearly an hour too late.” “ Dear me!” said Mrs. Granger, petu lantly, “ what can one do when one’s ! visiting list is so large!” and she drew i together the folds of a magnificent cash mere shawl. One would not like to j send down an excuse ; for my part, I dou’t see how you could do so.” “ 1 do very well without resorting to a falsehood,” said Mrs West. “ Oh, dear me ! You can’t call it a j lie !” exclaimed Mrs. Granger, much : mortified. “Then, what is it?” asked Mrs. West, j The calm, quite tone, quite confoun- ; j ded Mrs. Granger. She pulled at her j ! glove uneasily. “Why, it is—why, cer- j ' tainly—not exactly a lie !” and' then ' l she hesitated. “ What else can you call it?” said! , Mrs. West, “Suppose I should tell a! 1 friend, who might happen to ask me, ; ; that I had not visited Mrs. Grand’s to i day-” Why, of course, it would be false,” said Mrs. Granger, who was growing j fidgety. “Well, and where is the difference, ! I if Mrs. Grand had sent word that she was not at home?” Certainly we should have felt bound to believe the corrcct j ness of the message.” Mrs. Grand made a nice little mental | promise that peihaps she never would do so again. “ Besides,” chimed in Mrs. Lee, “I think it leads to los3 of confidence in one’s friends. We cannot tell those who would wantonly deceive us, from i j others who for worlds would not give! ] us a false impression.” “ I must say,” exclaimed Mrs. West, | resolutely buttoning iier gloves, “it is | not. a very creditable way of display j ing one's partiality. For instance I take particular pains to call on Mrs. 1 Granger to day. She is “not at home.” I regret it, leave my card, and to-mor row meet Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Grand, and ; understand from them they spent a do- j ! lightful hour with Mrs. Granger. At the very time that lady was not at j j home to me, they were chatting quite ; cosily in her parlor.” Mrs. Granger coughed slightly, and ; became very busy fingering her collar, I twitching her bonnet strings, and ma neuvering in various ways previous to ; retiring. I, meantime, a silent and. . unseen listener, jotted down the fore 1 going. Perhaps it will not be amiss to : think of it. j Oiaml T.oftgc of Ancient Free Masons of South Carolina.

Low Necked Dresses,--In the early days of Pennsylvania there was ft l.aw which stated as follows : “That if any white female, of ten years or upward, should appear in any public street,lane, highway, church, court house, tavern, ball room, theatre, or any other place of resort, with naked shoulders, being able to purchase necessary clothing, shall forfeit and pay a fine, not less than one or more than two hundred dollars.” The closing paragraph of the law, how ever, permitted women of questionable character to bare their shoulders, as a badge of distinction between the chaste and the unchaste.
